Its Brazil chapter puts Brazil-based exchanges at 12.5% of inflows.<\/p>\n<p>The contrast separates two business questions that adoption figures can blur: how much activity is associated with a country, and how much its domestic platforms capture. India\u2019s transaction withholding can reduce the cash available for another trade. Its role in venue choice remains an operator explanation, rather than a measured cause of the split.<\/p>\n<p>The findings appeared in Chainalysis\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chainalysis.com\/blog\/central-southeast-asia-oceania-crypto-adoption-2026\/\">CSAO chapter on Sept. 30<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chainalysis.com\/blog\/latin-america-crypto-adoption-2026\/\">Latin America chapter on Sept. 23<\/a>. Their main annual reporting window runs from July 2025 through June 2026, while the share observations\u2019 precise dates remain unspecified in the chapters\u2019 prose. The new publications describe earlier activity, ending before October.<\/p>\n<p>Chainalysis attributes $88.4 billion in centralized-exchange inflows to India-based users during that annual period, making India the largest such market in Central and Southeast Asia and Oceania. That activity can reach platforms based abroad.<\/p>\n<p>The Indian chapter reports that domestic platforms\u2019 share of exchange value received fell from around 7% to 0.7%, with a sharp decline in mid-2022. Brazil\u2019s chapter describes a different trajectory: Brazil-based exchanges previously received 1.5% of inflows and now receive 12.5%.<\/p>\n<p>Those percentages describe received value in Chainalysis\u2019s exchange analysis. Executed trades, revenue and customer numbers measure other parts of a platform\u2019s business. One deposit can fund subsequent trading, so the amount entering an exchange and the activity inside it answer different questions.<\/p>\n<p>Whether the platform sample stayed unchanged also remains unspecified. The reported divergence supports a descriptive comparison; a synchronized annual market-share comparison would require matching dates and samples.<\/p>\n<p>Brazil\u2019s broader crypto economy recorded $252.5 billion in activity in the year ending June 30, despite contracting 1.6%. That total combines several kinds of activity and has a different scope from exchange inflows. An annual domestic-exchange dollar estimate for either country would require a share and inflow total with matching windows, samples and denominators.<\/p>\n<p>Chainalysis\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chainalysis.com\/blog\/2026-global-crypto-adoption-index\/\">general 2026 methodology<\/a> assigns pooled service activity to user countries using website traffic. For that allocation, it adjusts traffic shares for income differences using the square root of GDP per capita. The chapters leave the detailed calculation of the domestic exchange shares unspecified.<\/p>\n<p>The country assignment follows estimated users. This allows activity at an exchange based abroad to contribute to India\u2019s measured market, while domestic platforms receive a small reported slice.<\/p>\n<p>Chainalysis acknowledges that removing VPN and bot traffic is imperfect. The figures are estimates of geographically attributed activity, with that uncertainty built into the comparison.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"cs-article-embed\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/cryptos-bear-market-wiped-out-over-2-trillion-yet-on-chain-activity-held-above-9-trillion\/\" class=\"cs-article-embed__link\">\n        <div class=\"cs-article-embed__body\">\n            <span class=\"cs-article-embed__related-reading\">Related Reading<\/span>\n            <h3 class=\"cs-article-embed__title\">Crypto\u2019s bear market wiped out over $2 trillion, yet on-chain activity held above $9 trillion<\/h3>\n        <\/div>\n        <span class=\"cs-article-embed__arrow\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n            <i class=\"fa-light fa-arrow-up-right\"><\/i>\n        <\/span>\n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2>Withholding changes the cash available for another trade<\/h2>\n<p>India\u2019s current <a href=\"https:\/\/www.incometaxindia.gov.in\/w\/section-393-5\">section 393<\/a> sets 1% withholding on consideration for a virtual digital asset transfer paid to a resident, subject to applicable exemptions. The responsible payer deducts at the earlier of credit or payment.<\/p>\n<p>The base matters: consideration is the amount paid for the transfer. Withholding is calculated against that amount, so a deduction can reduce available proceeds even when the transaction produces little gain.<\/p>\n<p>Consider a \u20b9100,000 cash sale with consideration paid to a resident seller subject to the standard 1% deduction. Before fees or other adjustments, the seller receives \u20b999,000, with \u20b91,000 withheld toward tax. That \u20b91,000 cannot immediately fund another purchase.<\/p>\n<p>Another liable sale can generate another deduction, adding to the amount already withheld. The final tax calculation determines how those deductions are credited, while each applicable deduction reduces the proceeds immediately available.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/exec-9ced527d-3dc3-415d-b6cc-aeaea3a1a35e.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter shoggoth-infographic shoggoth-infographic-portrait wp-image-568757\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/exec-9ced527d-3dc3-415d-b6cc-aeaea3a1a35e.png\" alt=\"Illustration of India\u2019s 1% crypto withholding: a liable \u20b9100,000 cash sale leaves \u20b999,000 available and \u20b91,000 withheld toward tax, with annual payer exemptions and credit treatment.\" width=\"720\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/exec-9ced527d-3dc3-415d-b6cc-aeaea3a1a35e.png 1122w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/exec-9ced527d-3dc3-415d-b6cc-aeaea3a1a35e-240x300.png 240w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/exec-9ced527d-3dc3-415d-b6cc-aeaea3a1a35e-819x1024.png 819w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/exec-9ced527d-3dc3-415d-b6cc-aeaea3a1a35e-768x960.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.incometaxindia.gov.in\/documents\/d\/guest\/income_tax_act_2025_as_amended_by_fa_act_2026-pdf\">current Act\u2019s exemptions<\/a> depend on the payer and tax-year aggregate consideration. The limit is \u20b950,000 for eligible individuals or Hindu undivided families, including those without business or professional income. Eligibility also covers the stated prior-year business turnover ceiling of \u20b91 crore or professional receipts ceiling of \u20b950 lakh. Other payers have a \u20b910,000 limit.<\/p>\n<p>The limits apply to the tax-year aggregate. Their relevance depends on the payer\u2019s circumstances, so checking eligibility comes before applying the general rate.<\/p>\n<p>Who handles the deduction also matters. The statutory obligation belongs to the responsible payer. The department\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.incometaxindia.gov.in\/w\/tds-on-payment-for-the-transfer-of-virtual-digital-assets-vdas-\">historical section 194S guidance<\/a> separately explains buyer responsibilities in direct transactions and exchange responsibilities in relevant exchange settlements.<\/p>\n<p>The department\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.incometaxindia.gov.in\/documents\/d\/guest\/form-132-faqs\">VDA tax-certificate FAQ<\/a> explains that the deductee can claim TDS credit when filing a return. The Act allows a refund where tax paid exceeds tax due, with a return claim required.<\/p>\n<p>For traders and platforms, tax credit and trading cash therefore work on different timelines. A deduction can offset tax while reducing immediately available proceeds. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.incometax.gov.in\/iec\/foportal\/help\/all-topics\/e-filing-services\/%20tds%20compliance-faq\">transition guidance<\/a> explains how credits follow the relevant tax period; it supplies no fixed refund waiting time.<\/p>\n<p>CoinSwitch co-founder Ashish Singhal told Chainalysis that tax friction helps explain offshore use, adding that foreign venues may not make the deduction. That is an operator\u2019s account of the competitive pressure facing compliant exchanges.<\/p>\n<p>How much withholding contributed to the reported share decline remains unmeasured. Foreign platforms may comply with Indian obligations, and a platform\u2019s location alone supplies no blanket exemption. Singhal\u2019s explanation identifies a plausible competitive pressure while leaving its contribution to the measured outcome open.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"cs-article-embed\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/india-moves-to-block-15-crypto-apps-leaving-users-facing-sudden-account-lockout\/\" class=\"cs-article-embed__link\">\n        <div class=\"cs-article-embed__body\">\n            <span class=\"cs-article-embed__related-reading\">Related Reading<\/span>\n            <h3 class=\"cs-article-embed__title\">India moves to block 15 crypto apps, leaving users facing sudden account lockout<\/h3>\n        <\/div>\n        <span class=\"cs-article-embed__arrow\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n            <i class=\"fa-light fa-arrow-up-right\"><\/i>\n        <\/span>\n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2>Payment access extends across local and international venues<\/h2>\n<p>Fiat access offers another possible part of the explanation. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mercadobitcoin.com.br\/taxas-contas-limites\">Mercado Bitcoin describes<\/a> a Pix route for buying cryptocurrency from a customer\u2019s bank app. That connects a familiar payment service with crypto access.<\/p>\n<p>An <a href=\"https:\/\/coinswitch.co\/faqs\/can-i-buy-crypto-with-inr\">INR buying explainer from CoinSwitch<\/a> describes deposits through UPI and net banking on platforms operating in India.
